Earlier today, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver announced that Donald Sterling is banned for life.

Sterling, owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, was allegedly heard on recordings released by TMZ and Deadspin making racist comments while arguing with his girlfriend, Vanessa Stiviano. As promised, the NBA conducted a thorough investigation and it was determined that the male voice heard on the recordings belongs to Sterling.

Sterling is not allowed at any NBA games, practices or activities, he is banned from all LA Clippers facilities and he is not allowed to partake in any of the team’s operations. He is also barred from attending NBA Board of Governors meetings, and he may be forced to sell the team.

Sterling was fined $2.5 million which, Silver says, will be donated to organizations that advocate against discrimination.
